Took it out of storage and R. Kelly'd my trucklites just because I like the look. I now get a golden shower of light at night. Also threw on a set of 1969 plates (all legal like), relocated the rear plate mount and wired up a new light. D

Don't be like this guy, roll bars just make sense on a skinny 4x4.

Fenders are coming along.

🤷‍♂️

Remind me to never park next to a 40 that @Jdc1 has laid his hands on. I don't want people laughing at my work!

Tech deflection in progress, new rubber meets new rims. Better visuals to follow.

Had to change the fuel filter again. Got a visit from the Utah Highway Patrol when we stopped. Made it to Moab

The clutch slave heat shield/ spring brackets are live on the store. The bleeder is still easy to access as well by the way. ;)

We knew it was going to be a lot of work, but it took both of us 12 hours straight to get it done 😲 On top of that I had to kick one of the cars out of the garage to let the ceramic coat cure on the 40. I removed as many emblems and parts off...

You could put a stock hood latch from a 1974 + Cruiser if thats what your looking for. Stolen photo:

I never gave any thought (or forgot!) that my Nov. '74 FJ wasn't a 100% '74 until Gary @Mudrak pointed out that my roof was not original. He pointed out that the pop-out side vents didn't show up until later (08/76 I believe). Also the upper two...

Just small stuff: Painted the rear heater pewter since it came to me in black. Also replaced aftermarket fuse block with a NOS fuse block from Mark's Of Road.

Hello, My name is JM, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, just acquired this 1974 FJ55 from my brother (who had too many toys to take care of). I work and live out of Los Angeles, CA and have loved to tinker and work on cars all of my...

Finally an update on the F-Bomb. I took it up to Farmington today to Off Again to get some final details ironed out. Electrical and plumbing. The goal is to drive it back on the trailer when I go up there to pick it up. I am just waiting on a...

Just wanted to thank everyone who replied to my post!!! Roadstr60 your suggestion was the one. I would of bet anything that was not the problem. Just like you said sounded just like a rubber mallet on the floor boards. Exhaust hitting the...

First drive after rebuilding

Winch is too small for the vehicle. All else looks nice. Be happy!

Manifold gasket, new 60 carb, valve adjustment, less leaks and more miles. I’m sure we’re forgetting something. James is killing it. And it has AC. He’s come a long way. It drives amazing.

I picked up this BJ40 yesterday. I'll probably be asking a lot of questions. It's my first land cruiser.

The offset needed for the 33x12.5 tire is just under 2 inches, so found some 3/16 rectangular tube. 2x3 inch. Perhaps overkill but it should work.

Today I had a chance to drive the 40 for a few hours mostly off road and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Body work , new wiring, windshield, exhaust system and a million little things to get it to this point, Parts will have to come back off for...

Greetings. After poking around the internet today looking for a fan pull switch for my 1977 FJ40, I decided to join this forum. I've had my FJ40 since 1995 and it was my main DD vehicle from about 1996 to 2002. From 2002 until 2012 it was my...

Knocked the winter dust off and went for a cruise.
